the republican party apart, it begs the question what is going to change when it comes to the debt ceiling. the president state aid red line say he will not negotiate the debt ceiling. in 2011 they finally got a deal. america's credit rating was downgraded with them playing chicken one side on the other. he will be locked in with republicans over spending. now that they have given on the tax part of this there are so many fights ahead. >> when we look at future deal making, speaker boehner said i'm not going to do one-on-one negotiations with the president. how is that going to impact things? >> he became the negotiator with the white house. but it begs the question, how much different senate republicans are than house republicans. and is the precedent for boehner putting a bill on the floor with the fiscal cliff bill ultimately passed by democrats rather than republicans, will that be how they move forward? there will be a price to pay as republicans want to think long and hard about holding on to the house in 2014. all of these members will be looking at these negotiations thinking ahead

we had to keep, just like the debt ceiling, we have to keep the full faith and credit of the u.s. government and we have to make sure we pay our bills and people bought flood insurance policies and paid their premiums, we need to pay those off. >> diane, i want to talk about flood insurance in a second so hold what thought. >> we'll go back to what happened with speaker boehner. i think what we saw on display that day was the worst kind of politics and the kind of thing that really turns people off to government in general and particularly to the congress right now. john boehner was not so much concerned about the vote on the sandy relief package but he was concerned about the vote on his leadership and he was more interested in being leader than they was in leading on an issue affecting thousands of people that i represent and congressman jeffries does and fran. in this whole discussion it's not whether the bill has pork and what pork actually means, one man's pork is another man's necessity. what was really distressing is there seems to be this narrative now that says -- in orde
